In the last 15 years I have been going down to Cannes and Port Grimaud for 2 - 4 week holiday breaks and have spent many days trading off my lap top and tablet.
I like sailing and would eventually hope in the next 2-3 years ( nearly retired anyway ) to spend 3- 6 months of the year down there and of course trading at the same time.
I know Nice fairly well and have enjoyed some great times there.
Amazed not many members living in the South of France - I would thought you would easily have come across five or ten who would want to meet up and discuss the forex markets and their ways of earning the odd Euro ;-))
